Who owns the IP of the program? (you, your friend, his employer?) Does the program contain anyone else's IP? Do you have a business model to extract revenue from your program? Have you considered selling a service rather than a license - something more like a newsletter or other subscription-based process?

The IP is mine, as all of the code has been written by myself or is available under the MIT License. My friend is the owner of the company, does not claim the IP at all.

The nature of the program is that it is useful in that given a period of time, it can tell the user various statistics of their dealings. Target users would want to be able to generate this data at will, and so I don't think a subscription service would be useful.
